I tried using partscatalog to make labels, it can be done, but it is still all a bit manual for my liking. I think it would be good to think of a way to link up with a Peeron set/parts list, and build labels based upon those. I am not sure I have a (...) (19 years ago, 11-Dec-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) That's one of the most beautifully organized LEGO collections I've ever seen! And those drawer labels... wow. Much nicer than what I was thinking. AB (19 years ago, 11-Dec-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) It's been done. . . (URL) to personalize it for our own use we'd have to be able to edit CorelDraw files, and maybe use LDraw tools. Come to think of it, I thought that Bob Kojima's PartsCatalog (URL) make labels, but I can't figure out how to (...) (19 years ago, 11-Dec-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)

(...) I volunteer to help you clean up. Fortunately I have a pickup and a bunch of Hefty bags... :) Same thing happened to me on a smaller scale a few months ago. That totally bites, especially after all the sorting you've been doing. Kelly (19 years ago, 17-Nov-05, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

And I don't mean Lego studs - I mean wood studs... (2 URLs) My wife kindly took these pictures of me in my Lego room, after she removed what little Lego remained on the shelves, while I still held the remnants of the shelves. This wall was mostly (...) (19 years ago, 17-Nov-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage, FTX)

I don't have the extensive and organized storage methods that some here make use of - just LEGO boxes from parted out sets, buckets and tubs, using the holey plastic bags. As time goes by (and I move a few times) the old mental inventory gets a bit (...) (19 years ago, 15-Nov-05, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

The biggest problem here is, we are Lego builders. We know uniformity, modularity, flexibility and good moulding when we see it - it is exactly what we expect from Lego. And no storage system comes close to Lego in those terms, although Lego dont (...) (19 years ago, 2-Nov-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) Definitely sounds like the right method for you. If it fits in a non-walkin closet, your collection is probably under 100,000 pieces. At that size, your method has low cost, can be stored in a decent space (with good neatness) and sorting and (...) (19 years ago, 19-Oct-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) My primary factor, at the moment, is cost. I have a large enough collection that better storage is necessary (how large, exactly, I'm not sure - it's big enough to fill a good-sized, non-walk-in closet), but I don't have the money to go to (...) (19 years ago, 18-Oct-05, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I definitely agree with the point about inefficient containers (though I use some re-usable containers to on my work table to hold a working set of parts). But key is that's space efficiency. My system is less time efficient. You need to find (...) (19 years ago, 18-Oct-05, to lugnet.storage)
